as many lumber manufacturers between
Tatum, the present terminus of the
Galveston, Sabine and St. Louis, and
Beckville, eight miles below, and by the
time the track is laid to Beckville all the
mills will be ready to begin lumber ship

next General Manager Evans and Chief
Engineer Merriwether will be in Carthage
to locate the depot grounds. Grading is
being pushed rapidly and bridge work
begins in earnest tomorrow. As soon as
the line is located to Carthage every avail
able mill site will be occupied, and as

The Chicago Tribune says: lizard
Money" Tom NichoI is attempting to
form company for the construction of g
tricycle. railroad. The cars are TO be
forty siX inches wide and are to run on q
single track suspended above existing
railroad tracks. Mr.. Nichol claims that q
speed of 220 miles an hour can thus be at
tanned, and that the journey from New
York to San Francisco can be made in q
day. He will probably form a combina-
ton with the Keely-motor man.
The Railway Age says: The question
whether 1000 mile tickets may be sold to
commercial travellers st lower rate than
to ordinary passengers ought to be set at
rest Immediately, so far SIS the interstate
commerce commission has anything to
say about it. The commission has re-
ceived the answers Of the Chicago and
oAOAAN luhh IlAl4hog SOLiIPohy ~ NOAAi-
plants from the Michigan Central Road
and Luther Harrison for selling
tickets to commercial travellers at
a less rate than is charged the
public generally. The Grand Trunk ad-
mits selling l000-mile tickets to CONNER
cial travellers for $40, and that it refuses
to sell them to the public generally for
less than S25. The reasons given for this
are: That under the form
of ticket sold to commercial travellers the
road is relieved from some part
of the liability under which
it transports other passengers;
that commercial travellers constitute q
distinct class Of the travelling public, who
generally ride short distances alta time and,
visiting numerous places along the line
of the road, create in the sales they make
of goods a large freight traffic for the
roads over which they travel. 1t cannot
be denied that there is much weight in
this defense, and it is not at all improba-
able that the commission will give its
opinion in favor of the lower rates to
those who make business of travelling.

RaDid Iucreagp

The trade of the st. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas Railroad has increased so rap
idly since the branch has been opened up
to Wolfe City, that the yard room here
will have to be largely added too to make
room for handling freight. The tracks
are now hardly sufficient to hold the pas
senger trains, but with the contemplated
addition of six or eight more tracks they
can then more conveniently handle the
incres sed number of trains that will run
over the main and branch lines

The Houston and Texas Central has
has taken the first step toward putting
Fort Worth on the main line. They make
all cattle shipments by way OF Fort Worth
